Brock Noland commented on FLUME-2181:
-------------------------------------
bq. ignoring bad data essentially means ignoring the rest of the file
Agreed...but when you turn this option on you agree that losing data is
acceptable. However, once we have the new format, I think we should go back and
add a seekNext() event which can be called by sequential reader in the case of
bad data. Your thoughts?
> Optionally disable File Channel fsyncs

> This will give File Channel performance a big boost, at the cost of possible
> data loss if a crash happens between checkpoints.
> Also we should make it configurable, with default to false. If the user does
> not mind slight inconsistencies, this feature can be explicitly enabled
> through configuration. So if it is not configured, then the behavior will be
> exactly as it is now.
